The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of an
antibacterial coating of implant-abutment prosthetic junctions by real time
measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). A total of 20 patients and 40
internal prosthetic junction implants were evaluated in the present
investigation: 20 fixtures with antibacterial internal coating (Test) and 20
without treatment (Control). The VOCs measurements were evaluated at the baseline
